2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · BD16 HHC

The 2026‑01‑26 MOT confirms the 2016 Ford Fiesta is roadworthy, with a pass and no defects recorded at 52,096 miles. All earlier tests from 2024 through 2025 also show passes with zero recorded faults, indicating a stable maintenance trend rather than a pattern of recurring problems. The mileage progression reflects a low annual average of about 5,200 miles for a ten‑year‑old vehicle, suggesting light use or extended periods of inactivity. Mileage rose from 43,010 miles on 29 January 2024 to 47,526 miles on 17 January 2025 (4,516 miles in 11 months) and then to 52,096 miles on 26 January 2026 (4,570 miles in the following 11 months), showing consistent, moderate accumulation without major gaps. A buyer should inspect suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, test brake calipers for binding, and examine brake discs for scoring or excessive wear. Visual checks for corrosion on the chassis, structural members and exhaust system are essential, as is verification of exhaust emissions compliance and overall structural integrity. Finally, verify tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition and ensure no concealed structural damage exists; the clean MOT history points to diligent upkeep, but a thorough physical inspection remains the only way to confirm the vehicle’s true mechanical state.
